Sony Interactive Entertainment has kicked off 2024 with an exciting announcement for PlayStation Plus subscribers. Starting from January 16, a total of 15 engaging and diverse games are set to enhance the PlayStation Plus Game and Classics Catalog, enriching the gaming experience for players across the globe, including those in Canada. This update, lacking any day-one releases, compensates with a variety of fan favorites and critically acclaimed titles that are sure to captivate a wide audience.
Among the headliners for this month’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalog inclusion is “Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands: Next-Level Edition” for the PS5. This title, derived from the wildly popular Borderlands franchise, introduces players to a fantastical spin-off set in the imagination of the chaotic yet endearing character Tiny Tina. Our review in 2022 awarded it an 8/10, praising its unique take on the looter shooter genre. Though this edition does not include the post-launch DLCs, it offers enhanced resolutions alongside a variety of cosmetics and gear aimed at giving players' characters a significant boost from the beginning.
Another noteworthy addition to this month’s lineup is the remake of “Resident Evil 2” for both PS5 and PS4. This game revisits the iconic 1998 survival horror classic by Capcom, presenting it in a modern light while retaining the chilling atmosphere and compelling storytelling that made the original a cornerstone of the genre.

1. **Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands: Next-Level Edition (PS5)**
